Great Peking dish! Best in the town! The Peking duck was 80% similar to the authentic one in Beijing. The wrap and duck sauce was not as impressive as the duck itself. Try their meatball as well yum yum
A Chinese restaurant for Beijing cuisine. The shop was super popular during its grand opening a few years ago. The popularity is still very high and sometimes you need to queue especially on public holidays.
The deco mimics traditional Beijing Hutong. It’s pretty nice and full of Beijing characteristics.
🦆[Peking Roast duck] $68
A whole roasted duck, which contains two plates of duck slices, and duck soup. The duck soup was forgotten by the staff. I reminded them and they realised that there’s a soup to be served. Service is not very prompt as indicated in other reviews.
[Sizzling Cabbage and Vermicelli with Pork belly] $14.8
The dish is good from overall perspective, but we didn’t see the pork belly.
🀄️[Sweetened and Chilled Pease Pudding] $16.8
Very interesting dessert. It looks like Mahjong. Tastes sweet.
Delicious food and nice ambience. We ordered the whole duck for a table of 4 and it was spectacular, with several courses. The other dishes were great too - cumin with lamb and beef. It is $5 pp BYO and a basic alcoholic drinks menu. Highly recommend!

When it comes to Peking duck at Beijing Impression does the best and the most accurate.
Serving Northern Chinese food this place can get packed during peak hours, the Peking duck is cooked in a wood fire oven and served think sliced (skin only) which is the traditional way of serving it.
Beijing Impression is a relatively new restaurant in Ashfield. In the last few months, you wouldn’t be able to get a seat at the restaurant without queuing for hours or booking it a month in advance. They built up a reputation on their Peking duck. They put on a bit of show when serving the duck. Unfortunately, on this occasion, we did not try their Peking duck as there was only our family dining in. There are quite a lot of unusual items on the menu. They are not your typical Chinese dishes found in Chinese restaurants.
One of the waiter is super friendly and pay attention to details and know what we need even before we ask for it. (While one waitress is quite impatient) The Peking duck is well cut, and roasted perfectly. The skin is very crispy. The lamb with coriander is also a good choice. Whereas the fried king oyster mushroom has lost its taste and texture after deep fried. Overall, we quite enjoy the food with a reasonable price and love the decorations in the restaurant.
Food was amazing and delicious! I especially loved the Peking duck :) Has a little bit of issue grabbing waitress attention, but they were very friendly and nice :)
As a Beijing born Chinese, I recommend this place. However, if you have no idea what Beijing food is like, kindly advise you don’t try it until you’ve been to Beijing. I personally still can’t stand to have beetroot after 15 years living in Australia. So it is one of those things you either love it or hate it. The portion size is small, but it gives me room to have more variety of food. I recommend 卤煮，烤鸭，烤肉，炒红果。

This is one of my shortlisted eateries in Ashfield. I have friends from Beijing who often ask to have a gathering at Beijing Impression, as the food is the closest to those in their hometown. This place has received their seal of authenticity.
Roast Beijing duck is unsurprisingly the most popular dish, so is the flambé sticky rice dish (蜂窝煤，can’t remember its formal name in English but there is a flambé performance at your table when you order it).
However, if you are not in a big group or are just interested in a light dinner for one or two, then try the Beijing fried sauce noodle (老北京炸酱面) and you’d be amazed that a bowl of noodle that is so simple can effortlessly entertain your tastebuds and bring you full gastronomic satisfaction.
First, do your ritual of noodle-mixing. Throw the vegetables and sauce (came in a special serveware) into the freshly made warm noodles and give it a really good stir, after which you will observe the fried sauce happily clings to every strand of this floury wonder. The vegetables come in the set (carrot, spring onion, edamame, sprouts) really compliment the taste of noodle by adding texture, flavour and sophistication to the dish, when mixed into the noodles.
Chewy, flavoursome and satisfying. I could have it every day!
There are many other dishes I repeatedly order on different visits. Quality is consistent throughout. Price is reasonable. I have been there over a dozen times but have never been disappointed!

We had to wait 30 mins before being seated but for here on everything changes the service is impeccable, once being seated we had to change table so they can fit a three person table to ours the owner decided to give us the pear soup on the house (a really nice gesture and a bonus since my girlfriend wanted to order that anyways).
We ordered a cold mixed dish that consisted of picked cabbage with wasabi, hawthorn fruit in vinegar, beef slices and a pork jelly dish. Everything from that dish was delicious and with small portions of Beijing snacks this is the best of them all.
Next came the crispy prawns which both myself and my girlfriend considered a little too sweet although the prawns were fried to perfection.
Followed from that is the fried mushrooms with beef this dish is really nice in however nothing exceptional from it (although it's more mushrooms than beef that isn't really an issue)
Followed from that came the dessert (weird that they served dessert midway through the meal) the consistency of the dessert is that of a sweet bean cake that's just hard enough to be picked up but not so soft that it's crushed before it enters your mouth. The bean is grounded into a paste that cannot be picked up when eaten. I highly recommend this dish.
Following that is a deep fried bread/dough dish that is served with a garlic dip (it's not a thick dip rather a watery liquid dip) although not to my liking but is one of the traditional Beijing snacks which I do recommend to try should you want that experience.
And finally comes the big finale dish that everyone that goes here for the Peking duck which is roasted in house so none of the pre-purchased and reheated stuff. Beijing impression has 3 different sets you can chooses from 1. Is there signature set that consists of the whole duck and extra sides for $78. 2. A whole set but doesnt come with extra sides and 3. A half duck that just comes with the standard sides.
We had the half set considering the amount of food we ordered. The duck was crispy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside the meat absorbed most of the juices and seasoning when it was cooked so great to be eaten by itself. (cannot recommend anymore)
THE BONUS PEAR SOUP it's served as more of a drink rather than a traditional soup although not to my liking it is also a traditional Beijing food.
